India's SpaceX Reloading After Historic Debut: Skyroot Sends Second Vikram-1 Stage To Sriharikota

Just over five weeks after making Indian space history, Skyroot Aerospace is going again. The first stage of its second Vikram-1 rocket is already heading to Sriharikota, where it will undergo integration, testing and final launch preparations. On July 18, Vikram-1 became the first privately developed Indian orbital rocket to successfully reach orbit from Indian soiland succeeded on its maiden attempt. It deployed SCOPE and Grahaa into Low Earth Orbit, putting Skyroot among a tiny group of private launch companies globally to achieve orbital flight. Now comes the harder test: repetition. Skyroot wants its Hyderabad manufacturing facilities eventually producing one orbital rocket every month. A successful second flight would show customers that Mission Aagaman was not merely historyit could become a reliable commercial launch service. India has proved private industry can reach orbit. Now it must prove it can keep going back. Shreya Chandra has more

India-China Border Talks Set Stage For Xi Jinping's 400-Member Delhi Visit | BRICS Message To Trump?

Five years after Galwan, India and China are pushing cautiously towards a more stable relationship. NSA Ajit Doval is in Beijing for the 25th Special Representatives talks with Wang Yi on the unresolved boundary question. Doval has also met Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, with both sides discussing peace along the border and stronger economic, political and multilateral engagement. Then comes September. Reuters reports Xi Jinping is likely to attend the BRICS Summit in New Delhi with roughly 400 officials, more than twice his 2019 entourage and his first India visit in seven years. Beijing has not formally confirmed the trip. The timing is striking. Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked BRICS and used tariffs and sanctions as foreign-policy leverage. India and China are not suddenly alliesbut both want strategic room to manoeuvre. Is Trumps pressure politics inadvertently giving Delhi and Beijing another reason to stabilise their relationship?
